The Kremlin is talking about escalating the conflict again
Dictator Vladimir Putin said that Russia has «information about the enemy's intention to use a nuclear component».
He did not provide any specific evidence or details. He also did not specify which country or scenario he was referring to.
Reactions and assessments
Such statements by the Kremlin come against the backdrop of the ongoing war against Ukraine and the escalation of the information confrontation.
Analysts have repeatedly noted that Moscow's nuclear rhetoric is often used as an element of political and psychological pressure.
Context.

Experts emphasise that any such signals from the Kremlin need to be carefully checked and are not always supported by factual data.
